Re: Golf: Movie style code cracker.

Here's my entry at 105 characters:

-l15e'split//,int rand 10**pop;print$a,map{(0..$_-1,$_+1..9)[rand 9]}@
+_ while++$i%4e4||@_&&($a.=shift@_)'
[download]

A check for correctness would be to print out each sequence on its own line and look for a triangle effect:

axxxx
axxxx
axxxx
1bxxx
1bxxx
1bxxx
12cxx
12cxx
12cxx
123dx
123dx
123dx
1234e
1234e
1234e
12345
12345

where a != 1, b != 2, c != 3, d != 4, e != 5
      x = can be any digit

A problem is that this always produces the same code: 4294967295? Which would be good for movie continuity I suppose, but the nerds would pick up on the number and complain bitterly :) Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

Works for me. The inconsistency is most probably caused by non-portable code: `(~0 & $a) != int($a)` [download] Fine! I've updated my entry by one extra character :)	[reply] [d/l]

The correction works here too++ Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo.
